This article presents the development of a reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determining process-related impurities in ropinirole hydrochloride drug substance applying the analytical quality by design approach. The current pharmacopeial method suffers from selectivity issues due to two coelutions of two pairs of impurities. The development of a new method began with preliminary experiments, based on which the Acquity UPLC BEH C8 was selected as the most appropriate column. The effects of six different critical method parameters (CMPs) were then investigated using a fractional factorial screening design. Column temperature, the ratio of methanol in mobile phase B, and gradient slope turned out to be highly significant CMPs in achieving critical resolutions, and they were further evaluated using a central composite face-centered response-surface design. Mathematical models were created by applying a multiple linear regression method. Based on the elution order of an unknown degradation impurity and impurity C, two design spaces were established, and for each design space an optimal combination of CMPs was determined. The method developed was validated for precision, accuracy, linearity, and sensitivity, and it was proven suitable for determining nine process-related impurities of ropinirole.

This article presents the development of a reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determination of process-related impurities in a celecoxib drug substance following Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) principles. The method from European Pharmacopeia (EP) for celecoxib drug substance does not sufficiently separate celecoxib from its EP impurity B because the system suitability criterion is not achieved (resolution NLT 1.8). The same issue was observed with the proposed method from United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for celecoxib capsules, where EP impurity A elutes under the main peak. A new HPLC method was developed that eliminates the disadvantages of the two pharmacopeial methods and is capable of efficiently separating and determining all seven impurities listed in EP and the proposed USP monographs. The development of a new HPLC method started with method scouting, in which various C18 and phenyl stationary phases were tested. Improved selectivity was obtained only with a chiral stationary phase. An immobilized Chiralpak IA-3 column used in RP mode turned out to be the most appropriate for method optimization. The ratio of acetonitrile in the mobile phase, flow rate, and column temperature were recognized as critical method parameters (CMPs) and were further investigated using a central composite face response-surface design. A multiple linear regression (MLR) method was applied to fit the mathematical models on the experimental data to determine factor–response relationships. The models created show adequate fit and good prediction abilities. The Monte Carlo simulation method was used to establish the design space. The method developed was verified in terms of precision, sensitivity, accuracy, and linearity, and the results showed that the new method is suitable for determination of seven process-related impurities of celecoxib.

AbstractThe present study introduces a systematic approach using analytical quality by design (AQbD) methodology for the development of a qualified liquid chromatographic analytical method, which is a challenge in herbal medicinal products due to the intrinsic complex components of botanical sources. The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-MS) technique for 11 flavonoids in Genkwa Flos was utilized through the entire analytical processes, from the risk assessment study to the factor screening test, and finally in method optimization employing central composite design (CCD). In this approach, column temperature and mobile solvent slope were found to be critical method parameters (CMPs) and each of the eleven flavonoid peaks’ resolution values were used as critical method attributes (CMAs) through data mining conversion formulas. An optimum chromatographic method in the design space was calculated by mathematical and response surface methodology (RSM). The established chromatographic condition is as follows: acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid gradient elution (0–13 min, 10–45%; 13–13.5 min, 45–100%; 13.5–14 min, 100–10%; 14–15 min, 10% acetonitrile), column temperature 28℃, detection wavelength 335 nm, and flow rate 0.35 mL/min using C18 (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column. A validation study was also performed successfully for apigenin 7-O-glucuronide, apigenin, and genkwanin. A few important validation results were as follows: linearity over 0.999 coefficient of correlation, detection limit of 2.87–22.41, quantitation limit of 8.70–67.92, relative standard deviation of precision less than 0.22%, and accuracy between 100.13 and 102.49% for apigenin, genkwanin, and apigenin 7-O-glucuronide. In conclusion, the present design-based approach provide a systematic platform that can be effectively applied to ensure pharmaceutically qualified analytical data from complex natural products based botanical drug.

Abstract We developed a high-performance liquid-chromatographic separation of five steroids (estriol, estradiol, cortisol, progesterone, and testosterone), eluting with a water-acetonitrile gradient from a reversed-phase (C18) column. By applying a simplex search algorithm to maximize a chromatographic-response function, we sought to optimize the original conditions of the chromatographic analysis, which did not separate two pairs of overlapping peaks. Our chromatographic-response function incorporated both peak separation and total time of analysis. Three factors were varied simultaneously to maximize this function: flow rate, column temperature, and gradient shape. From the simplex optimization, we selected a flow rate of 1.50 mL/min, a temperature of 52 degrees C, and a linear gradient for our analysis. Subsequent univariate studies of the initial mobile phase composition showed that acetonitrile/water (20/80 by vol) gave an adequate separation.

The article presents the results of the research on the development of the procedure for determining related impurities by high-performance reversed-phase chromatography in the tablets “Ranolazin-NAN”. The conditions for samples preparation of ranolazine tablets, optimal conditions for the gradient mode of chromatography were selected using Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column: eluent A - 0,1% triethylamine buffer with pH 6,0 ± 0,1 (diluted with orthophosphoric acid) and acetonitrile in a ratio 70:30 v / v and eluent B - acetonitrile. The effect of pH medium (2,0, 6,0 and 9,0) on the efficiency of the column while studying the solutions of ranolazine and identified impurities was established. The suitability of the chromatographic system was proven and the specificity of the method for determining unidentified and identified impurities was proven. Linearity in the entire range of the procedure usage (from the quantitation limit to 125% (of the content of a single impurity)), correctness as well as precision at the level of reproductivity and intermediate precision, and the stability (robustness) of the method with small changes in the flow rate and column temperature were proven for the procedure of related impurities determination in Ranolazin-NAN tablets.

An accurate, precise, sensitive, and rapid isocratic reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the analysis of olanzapine (OLP) in bulk drug and in tablets has been developed and validated. Analysis was performed on a 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle Intersil ODS 3V column with 10 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 7.4)-acetonitrile (35 : 65) (v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1 with UV detection at 254 nm; the constant column temperature was 40°C. The runtime under these chromatographic conditions was less than 8 min. The calibration plot was linear over the concentration range of 2.5–20.0 μg mL−1 with limits of detection and quantification values of 50 and 200 ng mL−1, respectively. The precision and accuracy of the method were assessed by determination of validation data for precision (intraday RSD values of 0.11–0.28%, interday RSD values of 0.15–0.46%), accuracy (0.87–2.80% intraday, 0.33–1.80% interday), and specificity, in accordance with the ICH guidelines. The stability of standard solution and tablet extract was also studied over a period of 24 h. The method was applied for the determination of OLP in tablets with satisfactory results.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients such as isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin are among the most important first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. A simple, rapid and sensitive reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatographic assay method for the simultaneous determination of isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin has been developed. Separation of the interest compounds was achieved in a 10 min chromatographic run in gradient elution mode on a Zorbax SB-C18 stainless steel column (150 � 4 mm, 5 mm) using a guard column containing the same stationary phase. The gradient elution was carried out with a mobile phase of 10% CH3CN aqueous solution for channel A and 50% CH3CN in pH = 6.8 phosphate buffer (20 mM), to which 1.5 mL triethylamine were added for channel B. Quantification of the analyzed substances was carried out spectrophotometrically at 269 nm. Detection limits of 0.48 mg/L for isoniazid, 0.52 mg/L for pyrazinamide and 0.48 mg/L for rifampicin were established for the developed assay method. The present work showed that the proposed analysis method was advantageous for simple and rapid analysis of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in pharmaceuticals and biological fluids.

Abstract "High-performance" liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been developed for identifying 1-substituted 2-alkyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one iron chelators in serum and urine. Ion pairing with heptane- or octanesulfonic acid in pH 2.0-2.2 phosphate buffer and reversed-phase chromatography were required to separate these compounds from endogenous compounds in both biological fluids. In both the 2-methyl and 2-ethyl series of 1-substituted compounds (H, methyl, ethyl, or propyl) the elution times increased in accordance with the n-octanol/water partition coefficients (propyl greater than ethyl greater than H greater than methyl). Urine samples were filtered (0.4 microns pore size) and injected either undiluted or after dilution with elution buffer. After the addition of internal standard, the plasma or serum samples were deproteinized by treatment with HCIO4, 0.5 mol/L, centrifuged, and the supernates were injected directly onto the HPLC. Using these procedures, we could identify 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (L1) in the serum and urine of a thalassemic patient who had received a 3-g dose of the drug and in the urine of other patients who had received the same dose. One or more possible metabolites were also observed in the chromatograms of both urine and serum. The 24-h urinary output of L1 (0.22-2.37 g) and iron (10.6-71.5 mg) varied but there was no correlation between the two with respect to quantity or concentration. Instead, urinary iron output was higher in patients with a greater number of transfused units of erythrocytes. This is the first study in humans to show that L1 is absorbed from the gut, enters the circulation, and is excreted in the urine.
